Bussin' With The Boys - The Boys Minus One (with Lavonte David & Big Cat)

Episode Date: August 17, 2020

Recorded: August 13, 2020 Today's episode is kind of a big deal as Will hosts his first-ever solo pod without Taylor. To kick it off, Will gives an update on his NFL free agency, he explains why Taylor isn't on the pod, and he reveals some big names when announcing upcoming guests. Next up, we hear Will's take on the current state of college football, the latest NFL contracts (like the boy George Kittle's solid deal), and then an unexpected visitor barges in on the bus right in the middle of recording... Later on, Will gives the boy Lavonte "Boogie" David a call to get the scoop on what it's like playing with Tom Brady & Gronk. They also talk about how underrated Boogie is and how The Boys are going to make sure he gets the recognition he deserves this year. To wrap it up, Will calls one of Barstool's biggest personalities, Big Cat, to get the full story behind of the blockbuster deal with Deion Sanders, how he's coping with depression after learning the Big 10 is postponing their season, and finally Big Cat drops the names of some massive guests coming up on the new season of The Corp, a solid pod that he co-hosts with MLB legend, Alex Rodriguez. The boy Comp brought his A-game on this one! Subscribe/unsubscribe/resubscribe, rate, review, and as always, hit us up on social to talk about the episode and anything we might have missed.

Hey guys, it's us, the Jonas Brothers. I'm Joe. I'm Kevin. And I'm Nick. And guess what? We created our own podcast called Hey Jonas. We invented a podcast? Well, we didn't invent it. We just contributed to it. We're the first people to do podcasts. We get to ask other people questions because we're sick and tired of being asked questions. Well, sick and tired is a strong way to put it, but, you know, tired and sick.

Tired and sick. Listen to Hey Jonas on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. Just listen. We don't care where you hear it. What's up, fam? It's Isaiah Thomas. And I'm C.J. Toledano. It's our favorite time of the year on our podcast, Point Game, the playoffs. We're digging into the biggest surprises of the season. And I'm looking back on some of my greatest playoff moments. If we didn't talk ever again, I was harmed. You just understood.

That's how personal it got. Wow. Then after that Game 7, Marquis keep coming to. He's like, you know I love you, dog. You know, it's all love. This was just playoffs. This was just basketball. So listen to Point Game on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcast, or wherever you get your podcast. Therapy is fantastic, but once again, it does not have a monopoly on healing. That's why I create the resources and that's why I create the community because I really just want you to have more access. On the podcast, Cultivating HerSpace, Dr. Dom and Terry Lomax create a space where black women can show up fully and be heard.

It's tough because we're suppressing our emotions and so many of us are like high achieving individuals. Listen to Cultivating Her Space on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcast, or wherever you get your podcast. And then Zach, I'm going to say drop the fucking hook and you're going to play the fucking song. You got it, dude? He's going to play walk. Got it. You didn't play the song this week. We already know.

We don't even have to talk. We don't even have to communicate it out loud. I said, what happened to the song? You said, my bad. I didn't respond to you. So you just already know what that means. Jack had the same treatment last week. I said, hey, you fucked up this.

And he gave me a little TED talk for a second. And I just didn't respond. No, you know, let's just let it simmer, dude. Oh, it's simmer, no. Oh, it's simmer. This will all stay in, too. This will go before the intro. We'll keep this whole thing.

Well, we're going to keep the entire thing. This will be the intro. Welcome to fucking bustling with the boys, dude. Presented by Barstool Sports proudly. Listen, we're on a heater right now, boys. The AJ Brown episode, Heater. I mean, that's not to be little or minimize any of our podcasts in the summer. But we got a nice little email and an update last week saying the boys have went up three months in a row.

Week after week, we're climbing. We're getting a shitload of downloads every week. We're fired up about it because we had a shitload of downloads last week. And only a third of them was the AJ Brown podcast. So it's showing us that everybody's coming on board, coming on the podcast, going back and re-listening, re-watching. The boys are on a heater. We've had AJ Brown obviously is huge. I alluded to that.

You had Isaiah Wilson and Jamil. They were fucking awesome. Real good conversation. You can go back and listen to Isaiah Panda, big time rookie. Shared a lot of our stuff on social media. We love to see it. Had some good conversation with him and Jamil about, you know, everything going on in the world with, you know, people of color and situations. They're upbringing, how they've had to adapt over time.

But real good shit. And then also, I think it's a sleeper, but Ryan Hurd and Ernest was a sleeper podcast. A lot of people probably saw it. Didn't get insanely hype at first besides the country fans out there and probably Nashville fans. But if you listen to that episode, that's a sleeper episode. Ernest is hilarious. Ryan is an insightful cat. Avid viewer of the pod.

Loves the pod. But we've been having fun. Now we want to do a current events pod. talk about a few things in our world, talk about what's going on out there in the world, and just catch you guys up on everything, because number one, we've all missed you. We've done what, Alex, we did all of our pods in basically June, right? Did we do many in July? We didn't do a whole, I mean, we did some in July, not a whole lot.

Recording wise, no, not really. But, I mean, you guys know the deal. Number one, however you're listening to us right now, pull out your phone. I know Spotify is a big one. Spotify's a big player in the podcast game now. I mean, they always have been, but they've been making moves. but whether it's Spotify, Apple, Google Play, whatever it is, pull over, or if you're at work or at home, most of us are probably at home because, you know, social distance quarantine,

all that, all that shit. Subscribe or if you're already subscribed to the pod, unsubscribe and resubscribe again. The reason we tell you guys to subscribe and resubscribe and shit is because there's a little game out there in the podcast world. It's a little algorithm game. And to climb the charts a little bit when you see Alex, God bless him, when he says bump the boys with that little midweek tweet. He's meaning go in and unsubscribe and resubscribe because there's a game we are playing.

The more, it's like it's bullshit, number one, but it's a big math equation. But within the first 24 hours you subscribe, it's like there's like a weighted value. And then within 48 hours, there's the next 24 hours. It's another like a smaller weighted value. And then after 48 hours, I want to say one equals one. So everyone after that matters. but they go a lot off subscribers and shit like that. So we just need the wolf pack out there to continue to support the boys.

Share the pod. We appreciate you. You're part of this. You're part of the fucking crew, dude. You're part of the cult. I kind of hate calling it a cult because we know who's called their podcast stuff with cult. But yeah.

And then also the tier one, tier two, listen, we're creating merch for you guys. We're going to get some tier one merch coming. We're going to get some tier two merch coming. Everyone's included. And I appreciate that you guys aren't. fighting as much out there. A lot of pride, a lot of pride in the tier one folks.

But again, hey, we appreciate the shit out of you guys for supporting us. We don't do this shit without you. We sell zeros here. Well, we sell merch, so you can buy merch. But when it comes to the pod, by being free, there's no paywall, there's no none of that. We sell zero. So our zero free, you guys to us, needs to be that subscribe button. We also have a YouTube channel. Go to YouTube, subscribe on YouTube, bust with the boys. It's a full-on experience. Zach, he does a hell of a job. All the boys, sorry guys, I'm not minimizing anybody. Jack, Garrett, Josh, shout out everybody, Blas. Sick YouTube channel. You basically don't even have to hold your phone. We bring up everything right there in front of your face, so you're on the full-on experience,

watching the episode on your big screen. We also have social media, Buston WTB. Follow us there. And then, of course, our website, bustinwtb.com, are doing some cool things with the website, so you can go and check that out. If you go on there now, you'll see that the boys are calling them, uh, Ryan set us up and you get, you give us your email and we give you pup dates. So, check us out, bust wtb.com. Um, am I good on the intro? Can I tell Zach to drop the fucking hook? Because he didn't drop the fucking hook last week. And I don't know if anybody else noticed, but I noticed. I get on the pod every now and then. I'm sure, I'm sure the boys sometimes are like, yo, comp really fucking checks this shit. So make sure you're on your P's and Q's. This is going to be a

special hook. So enjoy this hook. Zach, drop the fucking hook. All right. First things first, update on the boys. We gave a little update in the beginning. We talked about our podcast a little bit. But we've had some dope shit going on. Jack Garrett, they have done a phenomenal job on this segment under the hood. It's the Bustin' with the boys version of Hard Knox. So if you know Hard Knocks and you like Hard Knocks, this year, the first, first episode was fucking hell a week. But the boys have created this segment called Under the Hood, all the behind the scene stuff, everything that kind of goes on.

Garrett's followed me around the last couple days, kind of getting a glimpse, quote, unquote, in the life of the boy. It's not that interesting. It's not that. It's pretty fucking boring, honestly. But they do a great job spicing it up. And that's called Under the Hood. Again, that's on our YouTube and shit.

It drops every Friday. another update you guys noticed that the boy is not here with me Taylor I fucking miss the boy um you know I'm sure he thinks in his mind that I might enjoy doing it without him but I don't enjoy doing it without him you killed the intro though well I appreciate that but um but I miss the boy man he you're not going to see him post about the pot a lot in season because my man is on a mission he likes to refer to it as the path. But he's a very focused individual and he doesn't want anybody to think that he's not focused or doing anything that revolves around ball. So you're going to see us obviously sell

out and post a lot throughout the year with Busts with the boys. You're not going to see him do it that much because again, he's got laser fucking focus on this year with the Titans with the boys. And I respect it. I appreciate it. Now I wish we were because I think we're a funny little duo online. But he's got bigger shit to worry about than fucking tweeting with me and tweeting about busting with the boys in his podcast. The podcast's going to be here. Podcasts going to be booming

when he comes back and we're firing off on all cylinders in 2021. But you guys know the way it works for anybody that's new that's just listening in now. Everybody, all the tier ones and tier twos and people that have followed us for a while. As you guys know, we backlog all of our episodes. So every now and then right now I'm doing a current events pod

and that's because I'm unemployed and I don't have anything else to do right now. and I'll get to that in a second. But we backlog every episode. So we got a lot of guests in the tank, Kyle Rudolph, Prince of Mukumara, RG3, a lot of guys coming out throughout the year. They're going to be a lot of fun.

Brett Kern, I'm forgetting guys. But we got some good shit coming. Rishan and Jayon. They'll be on the bus. But what we do is we backlog all the episodes. So everybody understands that the guys aren't podcasting while they're playing football. This is what we did last year.

And if you hear me come on with current events, obviously I'll keep you updated. But that's how we do the thing around here. Oh, and also Spooktober. We got to shoot fucking. We did Spooktober. Spooktober, October is going to be a month in itself, dude. It's going to be fucking awesome. We're going to have a spooktobre episode every week that drops.

And it's funny because Taylor called me yesterday. Call me Bright and early. It's like 7 a.m. I snoozed it. I ignored it because I was just trying to get up myself. You know what I mean? Just a little wolf trying to wake up in the morning. and he leaves a voicemail.

I check his voicemail. Oh, you know what? I'll play his voicemail. Yeah, I'll play his... Because, hey, it's starting to get a little spooky out there. You guys saw me tweet the photo last week. He told me he had some fog coming in. It's getting a little nippy out there.

Here's his voicemelt to me at 7 a.m. A couple seconds ago, it was 707. You pop off the O. I got it just like 7.7. So you want to make me more sense of time? Now it's 7.08 says you want to make me more sense more? I was calling you, woke up, got my truck real fast. I turned to the ACO kicked on real fast.

I started a little cold, little chilly. And I was starting driving out like, you just kind of foggy out here. I'm kind of feeling a little nervous, a little scared, and I realized, you know, we're pretty fucking close to a spooky, spooky month coming up. A little bit of a little different here, but my God, it's looking spookier than ever. Get excited, buddy. It's fucking excited. but I'm very sweet. I hope it didn't wake you. Goodbye.

Hey, I missed the boy, dude. For the boy, man. His voice smells sound a lot like his intros. I know, I know, I know. Hey, is that not nice to wake up to, though? It's the best. Hey, and what's funny is if you guys are sitting here watching this, I'm sitting there, I was looking the same way while I was listening to it in bed next of my fiancee. And I'm like, hey, baby, you got to hear this voicemail.

But, hey, a side note on the boy, he's looking. looking swaggy in his in his little uni photos i think he stole kevin byers a sleeve because if you see the sleeve it kind of goes up on his forearm a little bit it's a little small but the the boys looking swaggy out there a saw strip that visor's super hard yeah he's a big visor guy but he's got the one sleeve dude i'm a big one sleeve fan i rock the one sleeve little wristband on the other arm uh but he's looking saucy dude i'm fucking hype for the year i'm hype for the boy. I'm hype for the Titans. And I can say that because I'm not on a team yet. Either way, I'm hype for the boys because I'm always hyped for the boys. I guess I can give

a little update on myself. The boy is ready. The boy's been training and staying in shape for those wondering about me. I basically train and stay in shape and I'm waiting on a phone call. I want to say the NFL just lifted the ban on flying in free agents to work out. So the boy might get some traffic here in a little bit. I did. I mean, I've had, I got to be careful because I can't say too much. Loose lip-synchips, and no one needs to be ta-aerring out their business. Like, you know, I'm not Jalen Ramsey. I can't sit here and talk about where I want to go and what I want to do in life. But I, the boy, we fielded a couple phone calls. I've had an offer, but it wasn't an offer that I was willing to take at that time. So I haven't received anything.

to get me out of the podcast seat, out of Nashville yet. The reason being, you might ask, why wouldn't he take an offer? The first thing is when there's not a certain amount of guarantee or bonus involved, somebody like me would not look to do that. The reason why is because I feel like I've positioned myself in a way to where teams or anybody, any shortlist that I might be on understands that I can come in and I can plug and play at any moment. Now, I wasn't offered, if I was starter worthy, in their eyes, obviously I know I can fucking start and play. But if I'm being GM, if I'm playing GM mode and having full on objective

self-awareness, if I was worth starter money or somebody to pay to have on a roster right now and be the guy and be the starter, obviously that would, that would have been the case. I would have been picked up already. That not being the case, I'm in a spot that's sort of comparable to last year a little different to where I'm basically opting out of doing offseason activities and training camp and such like that until the season comes. Because again, as you guys know, the injury rate in the NFL is 100%. Always is, always will, or always has been, always will be. Now we have another element of COVID where you don't understand guys have been opting out.

Guys are going to test positive in the year and have to quarantine for a couple weeks based on the protocols. So with COVID also playing into a favor of a veteran free agent, you can kind of weather, you can kind of wait it out and figure out, you know, what teams are going to be available when the season comes. That way I don't have to put wear and tear on my body during training camp. You know, I'm 30 years old going on 31. So every team understands that I'm getting older. I know I'm getting older. So you got to, you got to be able to pick your shots. And for me, it's not putting extra wear and tear on my body, not having to leave unless there is incentive to leave what I am doing. So with that said, the boy's phone is obviously open. And I,

yes, I am playing this year yet to be determined. I might have said no to the only opportunity I'm going to get to play this year. And for me, it was a decision to where it's like, if I can live with that and I don't get a phone call again, am I willing to take it? My answer was obviously yes. It would suck if that was it. But I'm fully, you know, obviously doing bustling with the boys. and a few other things. Like, I've been preparing for a transition, and it's not end-all, be-all, I guess, for myself. Am I saying that all correctly, Alex?

Yeah, that makes your mic. Yeah, that makes sense, for sure. All right, cool. Because I'm trying not to talk myself into these certain boxes. You know what I mean? Because at the end of the day, it's all a business. And fortunately, for me, the Raiders were grateful enough to play the boy for the last few games last year.

So I got to put on tape and show that, not only can I get somewhere and play in that same week and retain a playbook in that same week in play, but that also I can still start, I can still play. I can still play at a high level for teams. So knowing I have that resume and knowing that teams are going to need plug and play guys a little more this year, because it's going to be a weird fucking year. It's going to be interesting the way COVID's playing, the way the MLBs had to postpone some games. You see the landscape with college football right now. Teams are in training camp and you assume the NFL is going to start on time.

But obviously, when they do, if they do, and when that season continues to go or when you get into the season, you never know how it's going to go. It's going to be real fucking interesting this year. But I feel like I'm in a spot to where, you know, it's just the decision and the route I've kind of went. And, you know, I feel good about it. Once we start seeing games happen, do you think it'll be noticeable that maybe some of the younger, guys haven't had a chance to prepare the same way that they would have if it was normal camp, like to the average fan? Absolutely. Yes. You know, I've talked to a couple guys who are on teams and

asking about their training camp and stuff. And they all feel like they've been very, like walkthroughs and stuff are very crisp. Now, obviously, when you go from a walkthrough to more up-tempo, I would be curious to how they're playing now with helmets on. And then when you get in pads, it'll be interesting because when it's shit's going fast, motions are happening fast, the cadence and people are yelling a little louder around you in pads and everything else. And you're not just in a walk through kind of leaning this way and be like, oh, yep, I'm going there. And the coaches are like, hey, great job, great job. You got to be able to make fast decisions.

But I do think like you could see some sloppier ball being played early on, but that's just because there hasn't been an offseason. Now on the flip side, if teams are executing and playing well, I know the players are going to want to come back and say, hey, we executed and played well without the whole offseason thing going on. So conversations could be fun next year. for guys. But yeah, and I do think that's something that could potentially play in in a favor like a free agent veteran like myself because, again, there's not a whole lot of guys that you lean on that are like, hey, plug and play. Like, we need you to fly in and play this week type of thing.

And I got to do that with the Saints. Unfortunately, got that little dumbass pussy ankle injury there that they had the injury settle with me and cut me. That fucking sucked. But I also got to do with the radar. And a lot of a lot of, I always see a lot of fans, a lot of the Raider Nation out there asking like, do I want to come back and play? Like absolutely I want to play for the Raiders. You know, time will tell with everything. But that's, that's my update. Is there anything else? I was going to ask you, what about with no fans? Like, how much do fans play? Like, how much do fans play? Like, I know obviously for different guys, it's different. Like, I'm sure some guys play off of the fans being there and everything. But like, for you personally, how how much do fans play into your game and how, how much do fans play into your game and how, how, how much do fans play into your game? And how, how, how, weird would it be to play in an empty stadium? It's a good question.

I know, I feel like guys will have a lot of different stances on it. Because you take out the fan element, number one, you're going to take out a lot of, like, energy that you can feed off of, a lot of good momentum, like when plays happen for you, especially as a home team or something. It'll be interesting to see how they do all the crowd noise and everything. So it takes away the element of like the energy and just feeling people around you. Like Darren Bates is like an entertainer when he's on the field. Like Taylor feeds off energy of other people.

Jalen Ramsey, like these are guys. George Kittle, guys, I'm thinking about that we've had on the bus that kind of feed off that energy of fans. But D. Beal, he'd always be somebody that gets on the bench and stuff and's waving the towel, getting everybody hype, talking shit. But you can kind of feed off the fans and you feel that energy during a game. Now, on the flip side, the benefit of not having fans is I feel like guys will be able to lock in and concentrate a little more.

Like the moment might not get too big for them, especially young guys or guys that aren't as confident, and I don't know who those guys are. That's for their own stuff to answer. But, like, for myself, just landing and going somewhere, all those jitters and everything you might have would be more so because you're going and performing on a huge stage in front of thousands of people. And you haven't really knocked a whole lot of rust off,

like for me going to the Raiders. Now it worked out well and I played well, but when you're out there and feeling it and everything, there's always that there's a voice at times that you're just like, which you've got to get that voice out of your fucking head, but it talks about, you know, you're on a stage, don't mess up shit like that.

Those guys who think that way, I think young guys and like guys who are inexperienced, I think that might help them a little more because they can concentrate and play the game of football because it'll kind of feel like, I don't want to say scrimmage because I don't want to minimize what the game's going to be like, but in a way it's going to be like a fucking scrimmage

with just crowd noise. You know the difference between, I mean, teams play crowd noise throughout the week. When you're in a way team going into a week, when the offense is out there during practice, they're shuffling in crowd noise the whole time, turning it up loud, music's playing loud. Some might do actual crowd noise. So guys are used to having crowd noise. So you know the difference.

You know what I mean. Like you know, like, it's just loud for no fucking reason out here right now. Like there's not a shitload of people watching. But when you go out there on a Saturday and it's just a regular practice and you're kind of scrimaging doing ones versus twos, one verse ones. and like say Titans for instance and you got like maybe 5,000 people out there you feel it a little

more because you know people are watching you so I feel like that's going to be the difference of having crowd noise and not. And I'm sure the crowd noise is not yelling targeted things at comp. Like there's no recording like you suck comp. Yeah yeah yeah yeah no doubt. No doubt.

What else we got in the works? Care packages? That was a good update. Yeah the care packages. So what we're doing Now, care packages aren't, isn't necessarily available to the fans yet. But what we're doing is we're sending these training camp care packages, and I'm stoked and fired up about it because I was sitting back one night and I was like, you know, what can we do to build this brand a little bit better? And how do we do it through the boys? Like, we want everything to be done for the boys with the boys, all of it, dude, from the all of it. Everything revolving around the guys that we have on and players and kind of having that platform for the guys.

So what I was thinking is we called this idea. I was talking with you, Alex, because you're the one who said care package, right? Or you said something about photo or something like that? Yeah, care package because brands do it for influencers. Right, right. Agencies do it for players. Brands do it for influencers. And I was thinking, boom, we should create a care package.

Like great fucking idea, Alex. So that night I remember just brainstorming and fucking everything about having a care package that's for the boys, like for the athlete. Because guys will get care packages and they'll have like candies, and shit like that. So I wanted to make something cool. So we got some things branded that we're shipping to all the guests that we've had on the podcast, the football guys. So hopefully they'll be promoting that shouting the boys out on social. But yeah, we're sending some cool shit, dude.

We got them some merch, obviously, for the boys, the bus and gear, the hats. We got them some manscaped, of course. The slides are later. We got some sweet fucking slides coming out. Those are later because those are in production right now. We got him a gag gift. I got him a gag gift. A sperm kit.

There's always, you know, every year, dude, it's camp eyes. You talk about camp eyes. You talk about, hey, well, I'm going to call Avanti later. We're going to ask them about camp eyes. I say the camp eyes hitting you yet. It's always a joke, like camp eyes, fours looking like tens. You get in, you're around the fellows all the time. You know, maybe the cafeteria ladies looking a little, you know, looking a little nice.

You know what I'm saying? And so we call it camp eyes. It's a running joke around, you know, probably every sport out there. So got them a sperm kit to get their sperm checked, see if they're fertile. And, you know, you can never, you got to be healthy. You know what I mean? You got to be on the right side of this.

Like, hey, if you're engaged, you're thinking about it and anything like that. You got to know if you're packing something. So got them a sperm kit. What else we get them? We got them some inflammation stuff. Yeah. Stuff for inflammation. I got them a book called Oxygen Advantage.

I'm getting them a book on nasal. breathing. I've tweeted about it recently. I've talked about taping your mouth shut, nasal breathing, going off of your whoop, whoop strap. Oh, that reminds me. We'll get into an ad here in a second. But following on my whoop strap and nasal breathing and like creating red blood cells or oxygen in your blood, it's a really good fucking book, but stuff that's going to like benefit them as a football player. And also the gag gift of a sperm kid shit like that dumb shit. What else? I'm going to show that on missing something. Yeah, we're definitely going to show it. It's pretty fucking cool. but let's read an ad real quick

a shout out the boys at whoop shout out whoop dude I'm uh I'm stoked that they're sponsoring the boys because as you can see they're like well you're not going to get to see this because it's audio that you're listening to but I'm wearing their whoop strap right now which I've had on for a little bit now

I've been off and on I've been a big wearer since 2016 but basically what whoop is is it's a fitness tracker the best one in the fucking game that provides personalized insights on the performance of your sleep, how well your body is recovered, and how much stress that you put on your body throughout the day, because it can measure your strain. And as you measure your strain and you sleep a night, you lay your head on the pillow, it measures your resting heart rate, your HRV, your respiratory rate, all these things

that get shoved into an algorithm based on your strain and your sleep, and then it gives you a recovery score. So it tells you how much strain you can take on the next day. It recommends you stuff. If you've had, if you put too much strain on your body lately, it'll be. tell you that you should take a recovery day. It's truly the best fitness tracker in the fucking game. Whether you're in shape or looking forward to getting healthier,

whoop helps you and provides you those actionable insights that are personalized to you. What's also great about the whoop is every day you get up, you get that recovery score that I was talking about based on your HRV, your resting heart rate and your sleep performance. And it can be used as that indicator on how to approach that day. So you can also journal whether it tells you, you've been wearing blue light blockers taking anti-inflammatories whether you feel like you have purpose in your life all of these things that that gives you it'll give you a strain coach it'll give you a

sleep coach and kind of coach you through how you should be going about your day and it's simple too the app is very user friendly you log on you can honestly get lost in the app based on the data the data it gives you i say data and data i don't know it doesn't matter i do that all the time but it has those built-in features um that you're just you can get lost in the data all day long And based on how strenuous your day is, the app has that built-in sleep coach, which actually lets you know how much sleep you need to be getting that night when you lay your head on the pillow. So it'll give you your needed sleep. The next morning, it'll show you how much you actually got. And so it'll track that shit for you too.

for Jack he's CBD Jack so when we do the reviews with Jack we're going to I had to check the time because we got to call boogie that's a Levanti we're going to do

the reviews instead of obviously we're not going to call him stoner reviews that's a little dumb on our part and it's it's not the boy that doesn't represent who the boy is but to keep his voice involved and still have something similar we're going to just call him CBD Jack so you'll be hearing from CBD Jack later

he might start doing some swipe up ad reads for us he's going to be doing some review reads on the pod but dude shout out CB Jack are you excited do you like your new name? Sure yeah full spectrum CBD get a new sponsor full spectrum Maybe. We'll see.

It sounds like full spectrum. Hey, good shit too. And we don't, because we don't want to get free shoutouts, dude. Yeah, sorry. We don't want to get free shoutouts. Yeah, what do we got? What do we have? What's next on tap?

Because we already talked about Big July for the boys. It is. Keep pushing. Like, we had a fucking awesome July. We're on a heater right now. We're on a streak, raising views every week. Keep subscribing to the boys. Alex had that on there.

So I apologize for Alex fucking. fucking that up. Dude, let's talk about college football. We got to talk about PAC 12 canceled. The West Coast. That seems like a West Coast move. And listen, very surface level takes by myself. Don't listen to fucking me.

I'm ignorant. You might hear some things. Yeah, we'll put, listen, shut the fuck up, take a chill pill. Me, I am pro play football. If we can find a way to play football with the right protocols and placing guidelines based off what we hear from the medical professionals. And listen, there's medical professionals on both sides. I feel like now there's medical both sides of the fence.

It's a fucking political game, dude. There's an election coming in November and don't be sleep because there's chest being played right now. But I am speaking on the side of getting the guys to play football, being for the boys. That's what we're about. And there's a lot of kids that are going to miss out on play. playing ball, miss out on their senior year, junior year. And not only are they just missing the game of football, but they're missing out on a lot of

just, on just fucking life, dude. I feel like there's this vibe of we're getting so scared to, we're getting so scared to die that we're afraid to live. And maybe we're not getting scared to die per se. They're, you know, that is real. Like, death has happened with COVID. just like viruses, just like heart disease is a leading cause of death in America, just like all of it, dude. Just like being unhealthy can lead to death.

But I just feel this sense of we're becoming so afraid to do anything that we're scared to live. And because you know you have different takes because who's playing still? The ACC, SEC, they're still playing. You have medical professionals saying it can be done on their end. You have medical professionals on the Big Ten Pack 12 side of it, other sides of it. that are saying, this is an irresponsible move, so on and so forth. What confuses me, and you guys can help me out if this, what confuses me is like, let's just talk about the Big Ten.

And shout out the Huskers for being, I don't know if it's true, but being one of two teams that voted to play, being one of the two teams that wanted to play. But I think that's kind of debunk because Ohio State and Michigan, they want to play. But I want to say Iowa, Nebraska, I saw this tweet that said there were two of the 14 teams that were like against canceling the season or pushing it back. So I'm all about that.

in a very for the boys way, very ignorant for the boys way. But what confuses me is the fact that kids can go on campus and be on campus, but they can't play ball. Do you understand that? Do you understand what the take is behind that, Alex? Like the reasoning? Yeah, like the reason. I don't think it makes any sense. Because if, like, I would understand if, like, say all schools are canceling, like, canceling school and you're doing the virtual thing like some schools are.

But to have everybody be able to come on campus. everyone live in their dormitory, whether or not you go to school, whether or not you go to class a couple times a week and then stuff on Zoom, you're allowed to be at the dorms and be on campus. So what throws me for a loop is knowing that and then knowing you can't play ball. Because I'll tell you this, me in college and my teammates, everyone I've known, being an athlete and being around this, if we didn't have ball for a year and no one kind of knew what the fuck was going on and all we knew we had to do is show up and train and practice but we're not playing what that would do when school is in session

and kids are on campus, women are on campus, parties are going to be back on campus. Like, you just, you, like I saw Nick Saban say, they're safer with us than they are back home

where they come from. Or with, like, the general population. Now, they're going to be with the general population anyway, but the more they can be under the supervision of the coaches,

he says the better off they are. I agree with that. I agree that having that mentorship that those adults, adult figures in your life and people kind of telling you where to go, what to do, and soaking in what's real and what's not, and here's how we're going to do it. Here's how we're going to do it as a team because you're doing it for the man next to you when you're part of these teams and atmospheres and cultures like in Alabama, like a Nebraska

and so on. So that's where I get like, what the fuck is going on? If kids can go to school, but they can't play the game. I don't know. It just throws me for a loop. Well, I mean, we're doing it halfway. You know what I mean? Like even if you look at fully functioning adults in the real world, they're not abiding by all the rules and guidelines that are set in place for them.

So how can you expect some 18 to 22 year old kids who like you're saying are there to have the time of their life? That's why they're at college for the most part. You can't trust that the kids, the non-athletes, that they're going to be doing things the right way and that that would be less risky, quote, unquote, than having guys at practice. Yeah. They're going to be networking and hanging out and doing whatever else college kids do all the time. All the time. What I enjoy is seeing guys that Trevor Lawrence, he spoke up, which is great for leading to charge for like athletes and stuff because you need somebody of that magnitude.

Because he doesn't need the season. He doesn't need a fucking play because he's going to be a top five pick, top 10 pick next year. So if anything, he doesn't fucking need to play at all. But just the reason of him being that voice for everybody and those guys, like I see Nebraska guys coming together trying to get in like a transfer portal to go and transfer and play at schools like me, I am for the guys playing ball because again, it's like, Like, you got these sides of the fence to where your glass half full and your glass half empty type of thing. Me, I'm always a glass half full kind of guy.

Like, I'm always optimistic. I'm always positive about it because in my mind, the world, especially our country, is built for people who want to excel. There's always going to be a small percentage of people that want to excel, right? That's why they're successful. You know, millionaires, there's a stat that came out recently. I want to say Dave Ramsey might have posted it, but 77% of millionaires didn't have any money, didn't have any money. didn't have inheritance. The country, and I know I'm getting on a different tangent from playing college ball,

but look, I'm talking about being a glass-half-full guy. I'm on the side of like, it's still like the world is still going to move. Like, everything is still going to go. And the people who are hungry as fucking want to excel and who want to go about things and are in my mind the glass-half-full type of mentality about it, like they're still going to find ways to excel and do those things. You know what I'm saying? And it just gets frustrating, man.

It's frustrating that there's no college ball. And I think the reasoning is just confusing. I feel like if it was a uniformed across the board, everyone was opting out, and they postponed it and came together with protocols. But that's the thing. There was no protocol set forth before it even happened. When I talk to coaches that I'm still close with that's at college, on the college level, they're doing Zoom meetings throughout the summer and everything and talking about plans

It's one through 10, 10 different plans, depending on what the NCAA tells them. And they weren't getting any feedback from the NCAA. So they would plan for 10 different scenarios. And the response at the end was, hey, guys, none of these might be the scenario until we hear from the NCAA. And what's crazy is you got, you know, like Scott Frost, for instance, he's out talking about being for football. We're going to play. Then the president or somebody else or the say, hey, we can't really leave the Big Ten. That's something else.

and then the governor can say something like you got you got you got DC you got the governor you got conferences you got committees you got the president of the university you got individual universities you got players trying to speak up on it you got so many different fucking voices you got so many different cooks in the kitchen right now that I don't even know what's going on but it's just confusing to me that you're going to have all these kids on campus but they can't play ball they can't play games but they can work out and do all the other shit that involves football that doesn't sense. Like they can't like travel and play games. I don't know. Like I hope it gets figured out because I want college football to happen because I'm a fan and I love college football. I love Nebraska.

But also because I truly believe that's the best thing for the athlete and the kids and just the fucking world. The world, America for sure. But it's just the best thing for the world too to like have stuff back that you're rooting for because all you see is so much convoluted political propaganda bullshit on social media all day that you just love rooting for. Like, you just, it's just better for everybody. I feel like when college football is being played. Go ahead, Garrett. I don't know if this has been proposed or not,

but what about the idea of normal students not going to campus and only allowing athletics on campus and doing, you make it like a bubble? Yeah, I mean, you, like, say, now, listening to that, I'm all for that. I think that would be fucking awesome. But if you play devil's advocate to that and you're saying, you're going to shut down the university and the education part of it,

just so the sport can be played. Well, they would do online class. Which fucking sucks. But you're saying students can't go to school. Not as bad as not as football. Okay, so for instance, let's say Nebraska, like, you're able to go to school. Like, Zach, are you able to go back to Tennessee?

Yeah, I've already moved in everything. Zach's fucking moved in. He's in a dorm. He's in a fucking dorm. And God knows what he's up to. Him and that little... He's in Nashville doing whatever. Like, that's case in point.

Yeah. Yeah. Like, you know, that new Wop songs coming out. So who knows what? Zach's got going on. Wet-ass Patton over there, dude. Who knows what he's going to be up to in college, but he's back in his dorm. So let's just say for this sake, you go back and say, we're going to pull students out

just so athletics and football can be played. Economically and business-wise, that could potentially be the move, like, just because it brings in so much money. Yeah, sports bringing money. But, like, then you're like, Zach's got to move back out because they want to fucking play ball. Like, if I'm looking out for the students in general, it's just fucking, I don't know. I hate it, man.

it's tough. It's tough. If they did create some kind of bubble or teams can only play within a certain radius of states or some shit like that to where they can bus travel, I don't know. Like the SEC could play in Atlanta. Right. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Exactly. Like that Southern Conference, the SEC, like they got schools that are so close to each other. Like, I'd watch fucking Auburn and Alabama go at it for fucking all year long. Because ultimately, I want it figured out. I just want to know when we, if we're, when we're pro football and we say all the things about playing football, Like, what would the other side of it be arguing?

You know what I'm saying? Because there are a lot of moving parts, but I do think it can get done. Like, again, coaches that I've spoken to that are at colleges have done everything necessary with zero tests, with zero positive tests, and they're ready to play football. You know what I'm saying? So the fact that it's getting taken away without, like, now something that's coming up is inflammation of something around the heart, is being linked to something. with long-term COVID effects.

I think it's a rare thing as well, but it becomes a liability game as well for schools to where, say you're the AD, right, and you have a player drop dead. You don't want to be known. You wouldn't want that on your hands at all. Again, the flip side of that coin is you're allowing kids on campus. You're allowing Zach to be there. What if Zach, knock on wood, drop dead? Never, Zach.

Thank you. But what if Zach did? You know what I'm saying? Like, you're letting kids on campus. campus. Now we're talking about the game. Don't hide behind the health and safety of that part. When you're doing other shit? Uh-oh.

Hey, is that the boy? Let's fucking yeah. What's up? Is he good? Fucking hell. Hey, let's go. Am I on? Are we rolling? Hey, we've been rolling.

Hey, I'll say this, though. I think we debunked it. I could do it. But hey, but I said, dude, I gave you a good. I gave you a good. I'm out of breath. I got so excited walking. I'm so out of breath. Hey, we got to go back and clip the saying,

hey, here's why Taylor's not podcasting. I did a nice bit on you. Was it nice? It was nice. He said it was nice. I thought about the past. Hey, nice,

G. That thing looked nice. Dude. Hey, when you texted me, when you said, Will texted me today, and he's like,

hey, doing a current events pod, we'd love if you called in, blah, blah, blah. I said, I'm out. See,

I'm in a breath right now. Yeah. And Will goes, uh, fuck or something like that, I miss you every day. Yeah, I said miss you. And I like saw the bus posted a little something like pre-thing or whatever. It was like five minutes after I got off my thing.

I was like, well, they might be doing the piece when I'm done with my little walkthrough guy. Hey, I'll tell you what. Are you stoked? Brayble brought us up in the team in today. Did he? Yeah, yeah. I don't know. It sounds like it was bad. No, it was a good little deal. Oh, nice.

So I can't do it because then Vrable's going to put me on the team thing and he's going to crush me. You saw I can't. I want you to be crushed. I know. I know. Basically, Rable said that,

uh, just tell stretch to film it when he crushes you next time. Yeah, he could get me on a couple things, though. I got, I got a hop on.

Hey, you're sitting here. When I see you twiddling the beer, dude, you're thinking. It's like, yeah, dude,

uh, fuck, what are you been doing, boys? What, how, you guys done? You guys did it all?

We were about to call Levante. We actually got a call Levante. And then Big Cat, 20 minutes later. Oh, so you haven't done a podcast by yourself yet? Yeah, I've done. We've been rolling since what? 40 minutes.

Wow. You know a whole 35 piece by yourself? I was rolling. How was it? Very good. Yeah? Very impressed. Rate it for me.

Full rating. Out of how many stores. Go ahead. You're already out. You're already out. He's already out. He's already out. Get the fuck off.

The box. 7-7. Intro was very good. Quality. Okay. Went about it a little differently than I expected, but kept my interest throughout. drop some really good knowledge nuggets from front to back.

Love that. Flood very, very quickly into the next topic. Stayed with it. Developed it well. Good storyline throughout. Gave us some little personal details, which were really, really nice. Overall, 4.5. I can get on board with that.

I can get on board with that. I can get on board with that. Oh, and guess what? I played your voicemail. Which one? We got to talk about, we got to talk about scooped over. Dude, a couple days ago. And the voicemail was perfect, dude.

Was it? I was like, listen, I'll let, yeah, because we had the Bluetooth thing on. I was a, yeah, I woke up in the morning, dude. I mean, I'm not going to re-say what the voicemail was, but it was exciting. I was like grinning the whole time. I was like, you guys see me sitting here grinning. I was doing that while I was in bed listening to it before I called him back. You see this?

Dude, my cheeks shirt from smiling. Dude, I'm stoked. When then when we're like, someone coming in and you started banging, it started perking. I was hoping to start. It started perking a little bit. Yeah, I felt a little song. Got that waffle. Yeah.

just scared shitless yeah no no damn no I mean do you have you guys talked about can we call Levanti yeah I'm about to leave you're gonna leave yeah I just want to say what's up

oh okay good hey that that's a good vibe with the pod because of what I said in the beginning what did you say all the good shit my man's fucking laser like focus he's not gonna be on

you're not gonna see him promoted throughout the year on his platforms because he's got bigger fish to fry than this fucking podcast but you're gonna see us sell out doing the whole thing. Totally contradicted you by being here. Fuck.

But you saying you're about to leave, it makes me happy that you knew that we might be filming and you just want to come by on the way. I just did want to see all of your faces. It's fucking great to see everybody. I know, man. Regular Jack's here. It's fucking all.

CBD Jack. We identify. CBD Jack, dude. Get rid of anxiety. Are you rocking a mustache too? Yeah. And that's kind of weird. Not a mustache thing is a little fucked up to me, huh?

Do you guys both have it? You're just like best friends. And he has both of the same mustache. They live together. I'm not mad at that at all. That's actually pretty cool. I wish I could grow mustache. I wish I had a jaw line for a mustache.

I see you, I saw your little, you got to have a little dress-up day. Yeah, media days. Media day. Yeah. See the little, the sleeve I put on that thing? Yeah, was that KBs? No. You got that yourself.

Yeah. I love it. You know I rock one on the left and I do a wrist and on the right. But I'm an offense alignment. I was like, I don't care. I love it. I saw him a little John. I was like, what do you think?

Well, you grab me one. He's like, I think I got one in the back for you. So I was like, bet. He went and grabbed for me. And the cleats? Are those navy shoelaces? No, but now I'm going to do that. Hey, now I'm going to fucking do that, dude.

You got a little belly on you. No. I was like, that's fucking crazy, dude, because fuck you. I got real sentences about it. I called him on the way home. I was pissed. I know you guys got to call Levanté,

but did you guys talk about the Bay 10 canceling the season? We were just talking about. What's your thought? Did you, do you think that, like, what do you think the players should do? I don't know.

I said, I think, like I saw some players, like trying to create this portal to where they can transfer and play on a team that's playing this year. Because I think,

say, yo, that's sick. Like, what would you do? Your senior year? I'd leave. I'd say,

hey, I'd say, hey, I'm up, and go to the draft. Well, no, because I was a way different person my senior year of college than I am now. So it'd be unfair for me to say that. But like who said, Ed Ogeron, is that his name for LSU?

I'd say he said his last name. He came out and said something along the lines of Joe Burrow was a six-round pick. You guys are talking about? Yeah, go tagos. He said that Joe Burrow was a six-round pick before the start of the season. Then he, you know, his first-off pick. That's a good fucking point, too. So you got to give kids an opportunity.

I get it. It's a deal, right? and now we're fucking sitting over here in the gray area land. We're not in our lane like we talk about it all the time. Yeah. We're kind of veering off whichever way. I kept going. I was veering a lot.

It's tough, dude. I was nervous talking about it. Fuck around, dude. Fuck around with that spooktober. They're coming to fucking take it from us. Dude, I know. They're trying to cancel the entire fall, dude. I'm so, you know, the one thing I took out of this whole thing was how fired

if I am that you just did a podcast by yourself. That's fucking cool. I only had about one. I thought about it. I thought about it all day long. I was like, all right. How can we talk about that? All right, I'll talk about that.

It's like, fuck, it's going to be tough without the boy. Was it easy, though? It wasn't bad, but I told him, I said, before the pot, I said, guys, look, I'm going to be talking to you the entire time. So talk back, talk back and forth like we're in a conversation. It was really you and five other dudes. It's been less than I expected, though. You know how I go off on tango, so I was kind of going off on it.

But I bet you were way more along the guidelines without me here. Yeah, when I got to the end of it, I'm like, all right, what do we got next? Alex, what the fuck are we? We talked about that already. Oh, really? Yeah, so we would have, we wait, we bring it down. You get to listen, subscribe. Wait, if I guys.

Tier one guy. Yeah. I'm not really even a tier one guy right now. I'm probably a tier three guy as a viewer, but I'm a tier one guy because it's my fucking podcast. Oh, yeah. I mean, you're the boy. I'm the boy.

Well, it's not like a title, but it is, we're all the boys. Yeah. I do think like, what was your caption when you tweeted Taylor's video? Which video? His swag video. Swagu. I think you should refer to him as one of the bosses. The boss looking icy.

When was the last time you wore that white suit? I've only worn it once. Would you wear it again? Yeah, next time I read up, you see all these tackles getting bit off and stuff? Hey. Hey, how about George? Kettle, baby. George fucking Kettle, dude.

That's awesome. Good for him. That's sick. Damn, that's crazy. Hey, we got our first day. We got paid a lot. they have OTAs tomorrow, but Kittle getting broke off like that's epic. And then Kelsey got right after Dio.

See, here's what I think NFL teams do, actually. I think if there's like a tight end of the chiefs and the tied end of the Niners, they had to have talked. I mean, like, okay, we're doing this. We're going to do with Kittle. And then I'll make sure Kelsey's is, you know, $500,000 less or whatever. Because when I signed my deal, Jake Matthews was like a million less than me, but with like a $500,000 incentive, like a probable incentive of something.

And so, but it was like, I signed my contract and like an hour later his contract came out. Are they both managed by like an agency, same agency? I don't know. I think Jake's CA. I don't know what Jake is. They might though. I feel like there had to be some sort of talking going on.

There's got to be. Because if the CIA, because if the government, CA's operation is just unfucking real. CA is the best agency in the world. They got the biggest. They got everybody. Like they know everything that basically goes on. And the thing that's super annoying is that people will be like,

well, I want an agency. The guys are just going to focus on me. Dude, they got that. I feel like I'm, the only guy in that whole entire agency. It's crazy how much they care about you. CA does a really good job. You got a really good job.

Pat's a stud. Pat's a stud. I got Tom, too, the OG. Is he the owner? Tom had his own agency that CA bought. CA's the number one talent agency in the world. They are.

They are. And then there's WME who's number two. Yeah, yeah. People who are the best talent. People who have been with WME would say, oh, no, no, we are. I think the rocks are WME. Yeah.

And so by Emma Stone was. with WME. You look at the bottom line, though, I mean, it's CAA. Yeah, but WM. doesn't have a sports agency. I don't think, well, they do,

but not have football. Gotcha. They're right there on Rodeo. Shout out Neil Cornridge, though. NC Sports, baby. Who? Neil.

If you ask, if you ask, it's good to be back. Hey, I said that too. I was like, man, I got to fucking go on social media

and set up myself to get shit on. Like, I don't have Taylor's shitting on me anymore. Like, it's been lonely. I bet. I've seen a couple of your tweets

to have been like, I'm gonna let it go I'm just gonna go Sometimes I wake up Sometimes I'll scroll and be like On mine No on mine Yeah I know

I don't really tweet like that Right now Yeah especially not now I don't know if I'm gonna tweet Nothing about Boston With the boys the whole entire season I thought about that Why?

Just so can just fucking stay locked in man So when people see And it's like week eight And they're like yo I don't think I don't think one's got a penalty Yeah something like that All the boys been locked in And it's not like

I can go and repost something and it'll be, I can be just as locked in if I'm me just putting, add to story and then moving on. But outside viewers looking in, like you just want people to think, to know that you're locked in. So just be locked in. Like he's not focusing on his own.

Yeah, exactly. Just be locked in. I'll tell you what. The boy might stray in Spooktober, though. Because I added my love for Spooky Tober. Yeah, like we got to be spooktober now as a different little deal. I know. But, you know, at that point, you'll be, what,

5 and 0 feeling good? I sure hope so. So if you were in college, would you leave right now? If you're in college, you're like, hey, I'm probably going to be a, you know, I would do whatever I could to play because I would know I have to play. If I'm going to get drafted, I got to play. Yeah. I would be super fucking bummed.

I'd be one of those kids that are trying to be on like, you know, the movements that are trying to be like, yeah, go see if we can transfer. Go play it like Toledo for a year or so. Max done. Go play it like Boston College. Freeball. ACC is still playing though. ACC plan. SEC plan?

SEC plan. But Nebraska, your boy at Nebraska's like, fuck it. We're up for grabs. Hey, yeah. Y'all let snatch us up. Nebraska's out there making power moves. Michigan. Now, Harbaugh.

Harbaugh. He had a great quote. He had a great quote. Yeah. How about these coaches do a great job of doing the health and safety thing, but also saying we want to play as well. They do a great job at Tony Allen. Michigan has a great PR crew.

And Harbaugh laid out the steps that they've done to where they have zero. I know. And he's like, I welcome anybody to come in and check out what we do. Yeah, well, Sabin also said that, you know, a lot of these kids are better off being here. Yes. Where they're under supervision, which I know for a fact, I was one of those guys. It was like, when I went home, when I went home, it was like, hey, let's hope Lawan's good when he comes back. Right.

I'm like, yo, if all we knew is athletes back then, like me being having teammates, me being myself, if all you knew you had to do is work out and you had the rest of the day with everybody on campus but not really going to class. So you're all going to fucking figure out something. You can get some trouble. Yeah, you're going to get some trouble. Yeah, you're going to get some trouble. But you're also like, if you're. Like, if you're at Alabama, you know, Sabin's right there in your back pocket in your backyard going, you know, you don't want to fuck around.

Yeah. You go home to wherever you're from. Shit might get a little bit. Yeah, no doubt. Shit might get a little dice. Yeah. I do agree that they're better off with the teams and like doing something. Not for the sake of being like fucking jerk off to college football and you know, just make them play.

Make the boys play. I just think it's better all around for literally everybody involved that the kids get to play their sport. If you're guys like Trevor Lawrence's guy who has said, who has said, I want to play and stuff like that, but he's in the ACC

so they're going to play. But teams that are not playing, and there's guys that are studs on there that probably first round, second round, third round draft picks, like, you got to go,

man. Yeah. Like just because you don't want to go play in the spring. Then what happens with the draft, the CBA says you can't have the draft before or after June 2nd. That's what the collective bargaining agreement says.

And so, yeah, that's so fucking, and so now do you go and revive? at, which I'm sure they could go and do, no problem. But at the same time, like, are you going to go play a spring league? Yeah. Then go right into the draft, then go get drafted, then, oh, you have a game in two weeks?

Because the NFL ain't slowing down. Right. It's a crazy little deal out of your room. It is a crazy deal. Would you think the national title would even count? Do you feel like there would be an asterisk? Oh, it's, I mean. If, how about this?

If I'm on a team. If LSU won, would you give them an asterisks, knowing that the Big Ten and the back 12 were out of it? If I was on a team. and we won the national championship, you couldn't tell me nothing. Yeah. Do you know what I'm saying?

Same thing. I think same thing. You just couldn't tell me nothing. Like in the back of your mind, you know, well, there wasn't, it was like 50 other D1 schools

weren't playing. Yeah. But also, right, tell me nothing. Can't tell me nothing. Then I'm walking that fucking ring. What you're doing it?

Don't worry about it. Yeah. And then the conversation will become, oh, did your team opt out of playing? Yeah. You know, and then flex on them.

I was going to say something, but then it's like, well, what if it's, yeah, always stay in the great. You want to call Levanté with me? I got to go. I really do. I love, I want to go home. I want a Norma Tech. I got to see Bobo at Eritay. At Eritay? No, Bobo, Ertee, Nashville. I like to shout out the boy, even no free shoutouts. Bobo.

You got me to start paying us that money, buddy. We gave him a lot of shoutouts. I did on the under the hood. I did the, I did the micronutrient test that they just started. Yeah. Check it out. You probably already have the code thing, right? Yeah, resilience code down in Denver, Colorado. Yeah. I work with them, uh, exclusively actually and we do like i have my whole entire diet ryan at placemats he's doing you're fucking you're locked in i'm dialed i'm so glad you came by though i'm so i'm so i'm so fucking happy to you i've been you i know and i got to get out i don't want to are we going to have our inference on a little sash yeah i'm down dude you felt me throwing out

the bay i'll be i was throwing out the rod when are you done with this deal what deal this right here with the podcast oh i don't know probably like 40 minutes minutes. Okay. Well, in 40 minutes, I'll be getting an IV of Bobo. I got to do a lot of chores. My mom's coming to town tomorrow. Chores.

Charles writes on the dry race board, like stuff I got to do. Hey, I'm just going to go. I just say, no. Next time I just say I can't. I got stuff to do. You know what I'm saying? Yeah, I got chores, chores. Yeah, she writes on the, okay, enough.

And that was the playback of what exactly happened. All right, I'll see you guys. I'll see you all. I'll tell you all. I love it, baby. Now it's time to shout out our boys, the Glyssie Boys, at Feltman's of Coney Island. The world's first hot dog brand, estimated to be in 1867, with Charles Feltman being the inventor of the Glezy, aka the hot dog. These boys sent me some glizzies the other week.

A package, about six packs of glizzies, dude, had no clue what was happening. I figured it was a sponsorship with Barstool, but I was like, why in the fuck are we getting hot dogs? shipped. Like that's the, that's the product is hot dogs. Little did I know that they're called Glissies now. I wonder myself on Twitter and quickly find out that Feltman's is changing the hot dog game. Feltman's is also a military-run business revived in 2015. The founders, Michael and Joe Quinn, revived the brand in honor of their late brother, Jimmy, who was tragically killed on 9-11.

And when I say veteran-owned, these are real hardcore veterans with 30-plus years in the military, and uniform in 113 months deployed overseas with Joe deploying three times of combat after his brother was killed on 9-11. They all played D-1 sports at Army too. Now, debatable how good a football team army is, but respectful that the boys play D-1 at Army. The Quinn brothers are die-hard sports fans,

especially football and baseball, hence why they're sponsoring the boys. This is a perfect fucking collaboration. So here's the thing. The Quinn's have put together an annual Mets game in honor of their brother Jimmy every year, and obviously they can't be at the ballpark this year. So they're doing a sort of virtual event.

Bussin fans get a discount off the entire store with code Busson and their website is www.feltmans ofconi Island.com. And for the veterans and first responders that are listening on the website, they also get an additional 10% off with ID.me at checkout. Go check the boys out. Shout out Feltman's dude. Love your product. all natural, uncured, all beef hot dogs,

throat the glissies, dude, become a glissie glad eater with the boys. And, dude, have a better grill out session. Shout off Feldman's. Hello? Boogie. What up? Hey, you're on Bustin with the boys, baby. What up with it?

What are you doing? What are you doing? Man, I'm at a trip. Man, I just had dinner. Just had dinner. Are you You get to go and say at your house Or you stand at the hotel

I get to come home You get to come home Listen Number one Here's what I'm going to need from you I'm going to need you to do your absolute best To talk clearly Because you already

You know I've always struggled To understanding some things you say But I'm going to need your best Because we're on a phone now But I appreciate You're answering What? You say you don't need my best

Yeah I need your best I need your best on sounding your best. Your best version of Levanti's voice. Because you got the phone now that's kind of messing up the sound a little bit. You hear me? Good?

Yeah, we can hear you good. I'm going to need you to get your white boy voice on. I'm going to change my voice. No, I'm just fucking kidding, dude. Um Yo, how's, how's fucking, how's training camp going?

Give us an update. So, Kappa's going real good, man. It's going smooth. Uh, I like all the protocols our team damage place.

Very comfortable environment for everybody. Is it, is it annoying all the different protocols and things you got to go through before you actually look? It was,

it was very annoying at first. It was very annoying at first, but just like, that you get used to it. You just got to understand that that from now this is the new norm. And you got to understand that's for the better at you and your family.

It's just the new and your family. So, you know, I can respect it. I appreciate it. Oh, do you know, but. Go ahead. But, you know, at any day, we get a chance to play football again, so that's definitely great.

Are you hyped to be playing ball? Are you hyped that the season's on schedule? I'm very, right. Do you think? there's going to be any bumps in the road? Oh, I don't know. Obviously, I have my top shot at first before, right now.

Everything is looking smooth. Hopefully it stay that way, but with the way things are looking, just, you know, with the way the world is set up nowadays, man, you never know. You never know what's going to happen, but just got to keep crying that things are smooth. Everybody's do what they're supposed to do within their organizations. And hopefully, everything is pretty smooth, man.

And we can continue to play football. Yeah, I feel you on that. actually just talking about the Big Ten canceling and that Huskers not being able to play ball this year. Dude, how do you feel like you would have felt as a senior? Do you get that question? Hey, you're breaking up. I can't hear you. You can hear me now? Yeah, I can hear you now. I will say that question again. We were just talking about the Big Ten and how they canceled and how the Huskers aren't going to be playing football this year, how some kids are trying to transfer. and like, you know, they obviously want to play football.

How would you, how do you feel like, how do you feel like we would have felt and you would have felt specifically going into your senior year had this been us? Oh, man, going to my senior year, I would have felt pretty bad, pretty messed up. You know, going to your senior year, it's pretty much a big year for you. It's just to live in your future where you want to be as a football player. Yeah. You know, honestly, I feel very bad for those kids, whatever, that they got to go through that. you know, hopefully they do get a chance to play.

But, you know, I guess everybody else is looking out for their way of being. You know, I guess they don't have enough for good stuff. I mean, like the good protocols and the safe environment for those kids. But, you know, those guys they want to play, they want to play football. But at any day, man,

it's kind of not up to him, but up to them. But hopefully they continue to try to use their voice to get it passed for they get able to play. Being like having the teammates, being in the locker rooms that we've been in, Sabin came out and was talking about he feels like the kids would be better off under his supervision and playing football and being at Alabama compared to being at home or being in the dorms all season long.

Would you agree with that, knowing the guys that we had on our team? Being away from your family? Yeah, like he's like, I think the players are better off being under my supervision. So hopefully they don't cancel Alabama season because he wants them around him. He thinks they're better off with him than being in the streets. Oh, yeah, of course. You bet off with whatever in mind me what you're in. As far as when you're playing football.

You bet on, you know, being that life, being that safe vibrant instead of being in the street where you can easily, you know, contact, be contacting with the providers or whatever, and then you could easily affect those around you. We want to try to keep safe. But being in a safe environment that you know that they're taking the right protocols and doing the right thing with the testing and stuff, you know, it definitely makes you feel comfortable.

for yourself and for your time. Right. Let's, we'll transition, because you're playing with some superstars now. You're finally playing with some superstars. What has it been like, I have to ask, what has it been like playing with Tom Brady

and having somebody like that in your organization and now on the practice field? How has it changed the dynamic? You know, it's been, for me personally, it's been, feel surreal. You know, I still haven't grasped yet, fight that I'm saying with Tom Brady.

It's crazy, you know, and then I'm going to go on to the whale, and I'm looking at these guys every day and I'm going against him. I'm like, man, I'm really competing against these guys on a daily basis. Yeah. And, like, when I show him in the locker, I'm like, dang, like, that's that Tom Brady, you know? Hey, hell yeah, that's the fucking go.

Yeah, like, it's crazy. They're not, then I suddenly snapped back to reality. And then, like, you know, you can see the competitors in them. And he brings a great sister urgency, man. He's a bad guy. He brings sister energy to the other side of the ball. And it's fun, bro. It's crazy, though.

Like, I'm still trying to get a hangover, but it's real fun, man. He's a great dude, man, a great person, you know, off the field. He's one of the guys, actually, man. He's one of the boys. Hell yeah, bro. We got to get him on the bus. So you got to, we got to fucking work that out in all season. You got to get him acquainted.

We're actually sending you a care package here pretty soon. So be on the lookout. I'm on my mom. I'm always afraid to him. Hell yeah. Hell yeah. What have you, what do you feel like has stood out to you that you don't feel like you knew about him, that he brought like some element to your team? And maybe it's a sense of urgency that you're alluding to where you're on the field with him.

He's like, man, this motherfucker's commanding the huddle. And this is, I've heard about this, but I haven't witnessed it. And now I'm getting to witness it. What is something that you've seen that you're like, you know, this is, I didn't realize it was like this. yeah like he's all he's in tune with everybody he's tuned to the line with the runner back and the receipt was like he always just going through everything he needs to go through

getting sure everybody on the same page with the adjustments and things and like you know when the often come out of the other day they're getting and they communicate and it just it just it just feels different you know you get that that feeling that you know okay there's got to take command of everything

and everybody's following his league and everybody's on point like there's no Laliagin everybody's getting lined up ASAP and then, you know, for defense, you know, that gets us to get around up at least up and then, you know, the competition is on

right there. Hell yeah. Yeah, man, it's different, man. You can feel a good vibe from them, man. That's what I really like, man. They got a real great vibe and they come in and they buy them in and they just want to play football

and they want to win. You know, they got that winning mentality. You know, we've been needing that. Hell yeah, I bet it's nice to see. A nice vibe to have. fun to compete against those right down. How has it been seeing

Gronk, seeing his entertaining ass, practicing with him? What's it been like for him seeing him come back after taking a year off a ball? You know, when he first came back, obviously, you know, by missing a whole year football,

you feel like, it seems like it might be hard, you know, for him to adjust and things like that, but, you know, Grong is just a straight baller. He's a football player. So, When he's out there, you can tell him it don't seem like he missed a beast. He's been working out this whole time since he's been away from football. He's kind of kind of got a feeling.

Yeah, he's lean. It seems like he's lost weight, but I think he's the same way. It's weird. He's got like a skinny jaw or it just seems like he's like, you know, it seems like he's leaner everywhere. Yeah, he's real lean, but he's still a big guy. He's still a point. And he could move.

Right. He's got that leaky speed that nobody really pays a time. too. Everybody just think he's a big body but not. He's got a little speed to him too. So he decided to, he's decided to get in the locker room too as well, man. It's fun, bro. It's fun of being there with those guys,

man, you know guys who won most of the Super Bowls, and you feel like they kind of like celebrities outside of the locker room, but when they're in the lock room, man, we just, we all just honies. That's what it's all about for real. Yo, have you gotten camp eyes yet?

Have the camp eyes on yet? I did a little segment earlier on camp eyes because there's a, I got a gag gift in the training camp care package we're sending you guys. So this is pretty fun. And my care package, you got a gag gift? Hell yeah, got a gag gift.

You got you something coming for you that revolves the camp eyes. It's for your well-being. That's for your health. But it's pretty funny. I got one more question, maybe two more questions. Okay. Are you the most underrated linebacker in the last?

league. Come on, fuck, over that. I'm even a question. Yeah, give me a

fucking answer. Hey, trust me, I fucking know. I'm out here doing God's work. I'm out here

doing your work. I wasn't calling referring to you as God, but I'm out here doing the work for you

because I'm going to build this hype train in 2020. I got some, I got some inside ties with people at other networks.

We're building out this Levante David hype train to push you to the Pro Bowl and get voted on you know, unanimously

without being a fucking alternate and all pro because there's a lot of people that feel you're the most underrated underappreciated defensive player in the last decade. Does that hype you up when I say that? Would you agree with that assessment? It does. It does. I mean, I agree with them.

Obviously, I do it. I feel like I've met more respect, especially with my play. But at the same time, I always go back and say, man, it all comes down to winning. You know, all comes to win. and we're in, about it in the fucking but when you

speak me about me individually, you know, of course I feel like I've been been under the radio a little bit

people been, you know, sleeping on the boy, and they're sleeping on the fucking boy, dude. We're going to wake them up,

though. I know, I know. That's why I feel like I got to be more, I got to be louder for you because I know you don't like talking

about yourself, but I know if, if anybody can get you to talk about yourself, it might be me. if anybody. Yeah, most definitely you definitely can't,

I ain't allowed about that. You're going to bring it out because when you talk about them like, damn, you know, mother my guy, real comfortable having me if you got my dad so I got to be able to stand for myself too.

Hell yeah, that's what I'm fucking talking about, dude. Do you feel like, now I also think that with guys like Tom Brady and Gronk on your team, they're going to bring some more

notoriety and have there's going to be more eyes on you, which I think is only going to obviously benefit you. Because do you feel like that's going to help you as well? Yeah, it's definitely going to help me I remember that I've been to talk already

Well, one case don't get more recognition Everybody's going to see who you want to he is now A couple of there he is Everybody wants to get to see I am appreciated he is And you know, me, shoot I'm on, I'm going to borrow God, light, right, I'm still a ball

You're going to be able to stay a ball I'm going to see you, boogie, go ahead I'm still do my thing man But Why do you Why do you shut down your social media during the season? Kind of focus, though.

I got to focus, man. It's a long season. It's a long season. And being in this game, it demands 100% attention and focus. I'm trying not to get distracted, especially, you know,

with Twitter, I tend to find myself when I'm on my phone when I come to lock on, I tend to find myself just going down on Twitter and Instagram and throughout the beginning a kind of going over a little,

you know, formation adjustment that we probably went over or going over with a decent weekend to get every, same solid down in my mind or studying the offense going over something that they do that I could catch on on game day. So that's one of those

that I try to use. That little five, ten minutes, whatever may be I can put something else. And it don't even have to do it, you know, with just football, it could be just reading the book, reading a Bible scripture, or reading, whatever, reading devotional, whatever

that may be, it just something that I could use on a on like a positive level. Dude, I fucking love that, man. I appreciate you coming on. I don't want to take up too much your time.

I know you got to get some rest. But, hey, we're fucking pulling for you over here, bro. We're obviously going to sell out for you. You don't even need a fucking social media because we're going to do it for you. And we already got connections. We're already, I'm telling you,

I got this fucking master plan lined out. But I appreciate you coming on, man. I love you. I fucking miss you. And I hope you have a safe season. Appreciate it, bro. You know, you've been my gosh for day one.

I won't live, but everybody needs to know that you get my gosh and they won't. None of this is safe. I love you too, bro. All right, brother. That's my fucking boy. Speaking of football, dude, football is coming back. And that means Sundays are back. Dude, I know they say Saturdays are for the boys.

Sundays are also for the fucking boys, especially during football season. Why only watch one Sunday out of the market games? Out of market game? What the fuck kind of typo is that?

You obviously, you knew when that came out that there was going to be two sides of the coin. Like there's no, I don't think there's middle ground on stuff like that because of the backlash bar still is taken recently. But look, I think it's a fucking, I think it's awesome. I think he got, he was done with the NFL network. I want to say the boys, Gilly and Wallow for a million dollars worth of game. Shout out the boys, man. I want to say they got an Erica and Dave's ear early whenever they realized a few weeks ago that he was going,

he was coming up on a contract and kind of said, hey, you guys should look at bringing Dion over to the pirate ship. And, you know, Eric and Dave, they execute on things like that, like right away. And I can only, I wish I could be a fly on the wall when they're sitting there talking to Deion about what they could do with them, this, that, and the other. But look, man, I think it's an awesome move on Deion's part. He's arguably the most entertaining athlete of all time, one of the most. Prime fucking time.

The man can stand there and say, I am the best to ever do it at my position. and he's not scared to say it. He's got a lot to say all the time. He's got a lot of good shit that he says. Spits a lot of motivation, inspiration. He's got his hashtag truth that he always uses. It stands for something. Let's look up with that stands for him.

But I think it's a perfect move for him, man. He's not on a network where he talks, he said it, 15 to 30 seconds at a time where he's got to fit in what he wants to do. Dion is such a creative cat and entertaining cat that you want him to have an open forum and say what he wants. and go off of him. And Barstool's the right move. They're going to set him up with a podcast.

So he'll get to talk about, what did he say he likes? Controversy. He'll get to go at, talk about things all the time that he wants to. And he doesn't have to worry about any backlash or a boss or anybody telling him what to do. And that's like his kind of freedom with that. And then they're also making a Sunday pregame show that they're going to fly to Texas and do. And Big Cat, Dave, and Dion are going to do that show. I'm sure that show is going to be entertaining as hell.

A lot of the younger audience will drive over there. Barstool's got a machine, man. They know what they're doing. And I would assume that Dion is worth every penny that they probably gave that, man. Because I bet it was quite a bit. It had to have been something. Because getting somebody like Dionne Sanders to go to join the ship of Barstool, I don't know. I'm hype for it, dude.

He's going to be on the bus one day. I want, Erica, I woke up to a text at like 5 a.m. from Erica. Yo, yo, we signed Dion Sanders. We talked to him about a lot of different things he's going to be doing. Get on like football, like talking football with guys, the pods and stuff like that. He brought up you guys. So we're going to be doing things with busing. So he's going to be on the bus for sure.

Man, we got to get him on the phone at some point. I wish I had his number now. But I'm fired up, dude. Dion joining the pirate ship of Barstool? Huge fucking move. And I think it's, I think it's only the beginning, too. I think it's only the beginning with Barstool making moves like that. Yeah, I'm fired up.

You got somebody like Dion. Here we go. Hey, Big Cat's calling. The boy! What's up? Is your belly full? Yeah. Are we taping?

Yeah, we're already in it, dude. Let's do it. We're actually talking about the Dion Sanders acquisition. And I would love to pick your brain and ask how that went about. And I know you are bar stool. You're one part of barstool. So I know you were in on those conversations. What was taking place to get Dion over on the pirate ship?

So the first I heard of it was probably about three weeks ago maybe. Well, I should back up because I got to give a shout out to my guy Rhone. because Rohn brought obviously Wallow and Gilly in end of last year. And apparently Dion Sanders' son and Dionne himself are big fans of Wallow and Gilly. So Dion, I think, knew that his runner NFL network was coming to a close. That connection was made. Erica went down there. I want to say it was like two or three weeks ago.

Whenever Dion was originally on PMT, she actually asked Dion to come on PMT when she was sitting next to him down in Dallas. And Erica was working hard. I know like she was getting the deal done. And it was like, you know, she basically was like, what do you think we can do? And, you know, we came up with a list. Dave and I did a Zoom call with him maybe two weeks ago talking about everything that we have to offer. And he was in.

So it's pretty much a match made in heaven because I think Dion is electric, as everyone knows. But his personality, what do you have to say? and more than anything, the craziest part about Dion is there's very, very few people. There's probably, I don't know, less than 100 people in the world who in the sports world can talk shit and then be like, but I backed it all up. Right. Like he backed it all up. He's the best cornerback of all time. So it's like you can't, it's different than, you know, like a Kendrick Perkins who I like and he was on our show a few months ago.

But when he talks shit on ESPN, players can clap back at him and be like, dude, you're kind of a bump. You're never a superstar. Where Dion talks shit, it's like, no, that's prime talk shit. Yeah, you can't say shit. Right. He's a Hall of Famer. If you say, like, oh, like, I could beat, like, if a player says, like, Michael Thomas is like, oh, I could beat Dion one-on-one. It's like, no, no, no.

Like, he stopped Chris Carter and Jerry Wright and Michael Irvin. Like he can go down the list and prove that he did it. So it's a pretty cool, unique spot to have a guy like that. Yeah, and he's so outspoken. Like he said, he's always got a lot to say. And he's like arguably the most entertaining athlete of all time. And from a guy to go to a network that's like talking for little segments at a time to have full tilt, open forum, and just be fucking primetime from back in the day,

I think it's going to be electric for barstool. yeah I'm so so excited it's um it's just another thing where if you had said this to me five years ago I'd have been like you're you're high you're stupid you're drunk like there's no chance that Dion Sanders would work at Barsk and uh it just did the testament to everything Dave's built and everything that Erica has been able to do because like those type of deals don't happen without Erica doing them you know what I mean like she's that's where she comes in and it's so good at what she does, because I'm sure if anyone else is doing, it would have fallen apart, you know, three weeks ago.

Yeah, no doubt. And then there would probably be some feud on the internet between Dion and Barstool. Right, right. I tell you what, though, you kind of made me like think about it because I'm thinking, fuck, whenever I'm done, when my time's up and I go spouting off at the mouth, like, I'm going to be like fucking Kendrick Perkins, dude. Everybody's just going to be able to throw fire back in me because I'm not a Dion. What's up with you?

What's the latest with you? Are you talking to people? Are you going to try to get to a camp? Yeah, I've talked to a couple. And I know they just, the NFL just lifted the rule to where you can fly in free agents now to work them out. So I would assume now that the teams just put helmets on today and they're running around a little bit, that there might be some traffic here in the near future. You never know, but that's just my, that's just my vibe. Are you still, are you like what percent in shape are you in right now?

You 100 percent? Oh, yeah. Per my whoop, I'm at 88. recovery today? Are you a fan of whoop? I do. I have a whoop. What strain are you clocking in every day?

I probably average 14 strain a day. Shit. I want to say yesterday. Yesterday was 18. You know what I was thinking, though, Big Cat? I was thinking last night, because you guys do such a fucking good job

at literally everything you guys touch. But I was like, yo, it'd be fun if we made, created a team on the Woop app. You know you can do that. Yeah. The only problem I have with that and I do genuinely love using the whoop is that I don't I don't want other people being like

oh dude you you you like sleep talk and you woke up like 15 times it's like how many disturbances do you have at night it's intrusive to be like to meet for me to share like how I'm sleeping yeah how many disturbances do you average I average I think nine oh dude I'm like at 15 really I'm at a night dude I love looking at the sleep dude what's your resting heart rate Hold on. I'll pull it up. I'll pull it up. But I got to get my screen up because I'm like it like maybe like nine days when I when I work out. I can get like 11. But I got to I got to get it going. Wait, what's the resting heart rate? The HRV? The 8.R. It's under the recovery one, I think, under the recovery one. Okay. Okay. I'm going to find that. Hold on. You go to. My HR.

Yeah. Go on the recovery. 63. 63. That's tough. We got to get you down. We got to get you down. Is that bad? You know, I'm at a 42. I'm at a 42, which is solid. You're like almost a professional athlete. Hey, I love the almost. I love the subtle jabbing there, dude. Hey, but we can make the group an exclusive team. Like only a few of us can have it.

Well, I'll sign something about, hey, I won't talk about your sleep habits. Okay. We can have a fun little group. I'd love to be in one with you guys and Billy Football, dude. That motherfucker is hilarious. Dude, when he ran his marathon on the treadmill during our grit stream, the whoop was like, God, why don't you just chill out for a second? Didn't he hit 20? In the highest 21, they say like, you know, you're like too much.

He hit 21, but the problem was, I don't think whoop is set up for not, like, literally not sleeping at all. So we all, like, our whoops all got confused for the entire weekend. You're like, hey, dude, like, did you just not sleep that night? Like, what's going on here? Like, everything who's logging is like a weird nap two days later. So, but I think that's, I think whoop does such a good job that, like, I can give them a path for not being like, hey, we got to think of a bunch of bloggers playing video games. Yeah, we got a, hey, whoop, if whoop is hearing this, they need to build a,

a side little app for grit week, dude. I think that's what it needs. It needs a grit week, Woop app strap. however you can say all that. All right, here we go. Let's do another ad. Sports research. Shout out the boys of sports research.

They've up their game. I've always been a fan of their sweet sweat because I use them. I've always used them in saunas. Sometimes to warm up or before I go out at practice, I'll put it on the old low back or the knees, you know, to get going a little bit. But now I've seen that they have a theragun. and they also have a pre and post workout.

They obviously, they sponsor the boys because, you know, NFL players. Hey, like Big Cat said, almost a pro athlete. They're one of the most trusted health and fitness brands in the states developed by athletes for athletes. So just like us, by the boys for the boys, that's what sports research is about. They were established over 40 years ago.

It's a family-owned and operated business dedicated to providing the highest quality products that focus on a lifetime approach to living healthy instead of that quick fix. From home workout essentials to certified athlete supplements, sports research has a little something for everyone for all the boys out there. And girls, shout out to girls too. So whether you're trying to lose a few pounds or give your immune immune system a boost during corona, we've got you covered.

Listen, they're great, dude. They have pre and post workout now, like I was saying, that has EAAs, your essential amino acids, bad aline to give you that itch, to give you that pump going in, getting all in the blood, you know, a little itchy skin feeling you get. All great ingredients involved, natural products. They got coconut, coconut water powder involved. They got all the good shit, man. Check them out.

They're awesome. Also, Theragun machine. If you got tight muscles and shit, dude, you got a tight back and you're sick asking your partner to massage you and she won't do it or he won't do it. Buy this therogun because it's easy to use and it's phenomenal. One of those therapy guns, right? There's also that brand. I think I already said it.

But it's a therapy gun. It sits there in, you know, jabs, jabs at you. I know it sounds real suspect coming off this mic right now. You can get 20% off your order. Right now, they're giving our listeners that 20% when you go to sportsrese. com and use code bus and 20 at checkout. That gets you 20% off. So go to sportsresearch.com, use code bus and 20 to get 20% off.

Shout out the boys. Dude, so if you think about Dion being your colleague, you think about Will Compton being your colleague, you think about Taylor LeWan. And honestly, the biggest one, well, I don't know, Dion's arguably the biggest one now. But A-Rod is your colleague. You get to do shows with A-Rod and Dion. Like, have you taken a moment to think about that yet as well? Yeah, it's crazy.

It's crazy. And it's, I mean, it's a dream. That's why whenever people say, like, you know, when they ask you, like, what's your favorite part about Barstle. It's like I get to do whatever I want. And like all everything you just listed is all just ideas that came out of nowhere and we're just like, hey, let's do this. This would be fun. Hey, let's do this. You know what I mean? And there's not, there's nothing that can stop you from all that stuff. So it's just, I mean, it is a dream come true. Pretty much every day's yeah. And now you're getting to do actual shows with these guys. I'm like wondering,

I can't wait to watch your guys as first Sunday when you guys try you because you guys are going to Texas, right? Every weekend? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Are you excited for that, traveling to Dion every weekend? Yeah, it's going to be a lot, but, you know, I think we're to travel on Friday, so we're going to do the show. We're going to tape the show on Friday and then we'll have a live element ready to go on Sundays, kind of if anything breaking happens.

But, you know, it's one of those things that it sucks to travel that much. But at the end of the day, like, I, my approach has always been, don't say no to anything because you'll end up in good spots. And that's kind of like the whole story of Barstool and like why I am where I am. Yeah. Dude, you got a fucking grinder a year coming. Are you got a grinder back half the year coming up? Yes.

But we got to make up for it because there haven't been sports. And I knew that. Like as soon as that was like the first thing I thought of when everything not shut down. I was just thinking to myself like when everything comes back like this is going to be. Because, you know, people are talking about, oh yeah, there's going to be all these sports. going on at the same time. It's like, I'm excited for that, but that also means a ton of work. So I've been mentally preparing for that for a while. Yeah. I'm sure it'll be nice to get to be out of the house a little bit too.

You got a, you got a, you got a, you got a new boy, right? How old is he, she? He's, uh, he's, uh, he's, uh, like a little over 13 months. Gotcha. How's he been? Good, good. I mean, it's awesome. So like, that's actually been the nice thing about the pandemic is like all the little things that I realized, like, I probably would have missed this. I probably would have missed that. And getting to watch, like, it's fucking mind-blowing, dude. Like, it's mind-blowing to watch, like, a baby grow every day.

Yeah. Taylor always talks, like, the first few months, you're just, like, thinking, I just got to keep it alive. Like, you're just, like, trying to survive. Yeah, and then after, like, seven or eight months, and the personality starts to form, and, like, he starts giggle, and it's fun. Like, it just, everything kind of changes, and you're just, like, this is crazy. Like, I'm watching a baby, like, I'm watching a baby grow,

and like day to day, you'll sometimes wake up and like pick him up out of the crib and be like, I think he grew like overnight. Like he got bigger overnight. It's fucking crazy. That's fucking awesome, man. Earlier you were talking about

with sports canceling, unfortunately, you've had a tough week. You've had a rough week seeing the Big Ten cancel. You've had an even rougher week seeing that Wisconsin wasn't one of the teams that are on board to try and have a season, unlike Nebraska and the other tough, actual tough teams out there.

I don't know. You disagree? No, I would say Nebraska got bitch slapped pretty damn good by the Big Ten. How so? What do you mean got bitch slapped? Because they did the whole thing. And listen, I appreciated Scott Frost saying, we want to play football because I wanted him to play football.

And I appreciated him, like, standing up for his guys. And then you saw all the reports like, hey, we're going to try to find a way to play football. And then today the joint statement comes out, It was like Nebraska is a member of the Big Ten and a proud member of the Big Ten. They got put in their place. They got put right back. Daddy had to say like, hey, you want that $50 million, you know, TV contract?

Why don't you shut the hell up and cancel the season like the rest of them? Yeah, you're right. You're right. But still, hey, but still, then boys are out there to have a season. Yeah, I like the fight out of him. I was, I loved Scott Frost fighting for his guys. I loved every minute of that, but it was just, I knew that that was coming. because Nebraska is not,

I don't think any school outside of, you know, maybe five have the ability to be like, we can do whatever we want, conference be damned. And Nebraska is definitely not, like, it's pretty much Ohio State, Alabama, maybe, like, maybe Texas

and maybe USC, and then obviously Notre Dame does whatever they want. Yeah, that's true. It's a short, short list. Yeah. If you had, say you were, the at the top of the Big Ten conference committee

how would you find a way to have a season if you were the Big Ten? Are you pissed off at the SEC and ACC or do you feel like they're going to fall in line with the Big Ten? Let's get that question out of the way first. I don't know. I go back and back every day. I do think there's an element of them just trying to delay it

because they can then make the argument that they tried really hard. If I were the Big Ten, I think their biggest mistake is they should not have scheduled everything to start and first week of September. They should have, if we go back in time,

I would have said, let's not start the season until October. Let's play an eight game season. So it gives you an extra month to try to figure out what's going on. And, yeah, I would have just given it more time. I just,

that's, it felt like they had no plan. And then they did a plan. And then a week later, they canceled the plan. Whereas, like, the smart thing might have been have a plan,

like have the plan give you, a couple extra months and then try to execute the play. So I think the whole thing was a debacle. It sucks. I'm pissed. I mean, college football, it is the fall.

Saturdays on college football. Like, Saturdays in the fall are my favorite, favorite day. You know what I mean? Like, when you sit down on the couch and you're like, all right,

I get 12 hours of just chaos in college football. And you get, you don't have to worry about going to bed because you get, you got Sunday. Right. Right. It's just the whole, you know,

the experience and everything. It's just, it just sucks. man it just suck. Dude, it does fucking suck. I think what makes me mad, I was talking to the boys earlier, like what confuses me is the fact that kids can go on campus, but then they can't have sports. So that's what's confusing to me because I'm like with Sabin to where it's like, you know,

they're better off like playing, like being with the coaches, playing ball, like being under that umbrella. But it's just like, so you're going to let all these college kids who are wanting their college experience to be on campus go to a few classes because a lot of them will be on Zoom. the kids following all the protocols and getting tests and stuff, they can't play football? Right, right. It's crazy. It's crazy. It makes no sense.

And it's just, it's the whole thing has just been frustrated because I think we all thought when it started in March, like losing March Madness sucks, but we all understood it. Right. And then we said in our head like, okay, well, there's a lot of months between now and when football season starts. So they'll have their shit figured out and just everything is falling apart. Right. I know.

It's fucking crazy, man. Um, my last one for you. Going back on A-Rod, you guys have the Corp coming out soon. When does that drop? It is hopefully going to drop in the next few weeks, actually. Do you got to, can you give any big names that are on, that is in this season? It's the biggest name by far we've ever had. I can give you, hmm.

Well, all right. Well, yeah, actually, no, I'll give you, I'll give you, I'm going to rank the names in my head. Hold on. I'm going to rank the names in my head. All right. So you get to pick, you can't pick one and two. You get to pick. There's seven guests.

Pick which numbers you want to hear. You get two picks. Two picks, but I can't pick top two. Yeah. Okay, I'll take, give me three, and I'll take, give me three and six. Three and six. Oh, that's good, because that's a nice teaser. All right.

Three is. Jimmy Fallon. Ooh. Six is our CEO of Penn, Jay Snowden. Okay. I mean, that's solid. I didn't, my pants didn't move a little bit for that one. But Jimmy's a solid one.

Did you guys ask him some good questions? No, people will like Jay. People will like Jay because it's the inside look on how the barstool deal got done. Ah, okay. You're right. You're right. That is solid. That's going to be a really good one.

Did you, when did you interview Jimmy? Right. Most of them happened right before coronavirus. So it's been a while. But think about that. Jimmy's number three. So one and two are bigger than him. So you didn't get the interview Jimmy after people tried canceling him.

Correct. Did not get to do that after. Yes, that is correct. Actually, wait, now I'm thinking about it. Yeah, yeah. And actually four and five are pretty big too. Fuck. Yeah.

So it's a loaded. It's loaded. Can we get number five? Five ice cube. Ice cream. Oh, that's solid. That's fucking awesome. That's five.

Yeah, so do the math on the rest. I'm not going to do many more. So do the math on the rest. Yeah. Yeah. No, that's solid. That's fucking solid, man. Well, hey, I appreciate you coming on.

We're dropping this next Monday, so I'll give you all the goods. Oh, wait, wait, wait, one last thing. We got a little, you know, I got to talk with George about it, but it was tough seeing you guys claim to be his favorite podcasters. Yeah. I mean, he texted me. He broke the news through me. I believe that.

I do believe that. Yeah, what do you want to do? I mean, he's been, you know, he's been, I'll tell you a funny story. I think I've told this before, but when we went to San Francisco and we, George and I laughed about this now, but we had to San Francisco two years ago for training camp. Yeah. We interviewed, like, Kyle Shanahan and John Lynch, and we were interviewing Joe Spaley and Mike McGlinchie. And after the interview, they're like, hey, guys, like, this, like, our, like, second year, tight end, like, he's a huge fan.

Can we, like, bother you to take a picture with him? and it was George Kittle. And we're like, yeah, I guess. Hey, that dude is a genuine dude, man. I like, I fucking like George a lot. That's why, that's what I'm saying. Like, I tell that story because George is like, he's the same dude. He really is.

You would think someone who's had that kind of success would change little has not changed at all. He's just a solid, solid guy. I'm so, so happy. Dude, me too, man. I mean, fuck, you got a halo tattoo. Yeah, yeah, he's the best. Yeah.

But all right, brother. Well, hey, I appreciate you coming on. I'll fucking not. We'll talk soon. All right. Good luck with any calls you get. All right, brother. I'll keep you posting.

All right. See you. All right. All right, boys. This was a fucking day. It's a good day to have a day. It's a good day to have a day, boys. It's a good day to have a day.

I like at the end, I like didn't know say, we'll fucking talk soon. Do we have anything else on the list that we missed earlier for just the boys? Um, we didn't really get into Kelsey. Oh yeah. Shout out Travis Kelsey. Shout out fucking Travis Kelsey, dude. For the boys. I was going to say team buss him, but he backed out of coming here.

He's, you know, he's still the boy, though. He's still for the boys. What was his deal? Man, both tight-ins got paid, baby. Kelsey's was a four-year extension, so it keeps him in Casey for the next six years. And he's getting 57. Damn. Let's fucking go, man.
